Coaches standing in box

Not sure what he needs to see. The Trail now chops on end line throw-ins for this very reason. Everything else that the table crew does is on sound.

Unfortunately, I was trained to do both shot clock operations & scoreboard/timer operations by sight & not sound.

Considering even during C-Squad & JV games, the atmosphere can be like a heated rivalry V game (lots of crowd noise, hard to hear the whistle).

Actually, upon further reflection, I realized that there are a couple of things that do need to be seen by the scorer as the game does not get stopped and this information reported. The official signaling a 3-pt goal and the number of the player making the shot.

But the first can be corrected at any future point in the game and the second isn't the end of the world if it is missed as long as the running score is kept correctly.

True, but then the majority of the training I have is from when I was doing JV & C-Squad scorebook, so then I was watching the player numbers real closely as well as the ball. Basically I've extended that training into scoreboard/timer & shot clock. Although I've been working on going off of sounds as well, considering like it was mentioned earlier, it can be easier to hear a whistle than see the signal in traffic.

As of this year, for some unknown reason, the crowds that have shown up for the JV & C-Squads have been noisier & more rowdy. Also it doesn't help that those that are doing the scorebook seem to want to be fans instead of impartial observers.

Ah yes, more work for SuperChseagle. Control the fans, keep the scorebook, time, run the shot clock and in your spare time direct the game officials as to how the game should be called.

Keep up the great work.

Maybe you could sell tickets before the game and write it up for the local newspaper after the game also. Just a thought...

Wow. Are we sure this isn't Diebler posting under an assumed name? Seems like the only thing missing is halftime popcorn sales.

Jurassic,

I've done a couple of games where I've done both scoreboard/timer & shot clock at the same time, it isn't as easy to do for me though as I thought.

When I am doing a position, I concerntrate on the duties of that position only & not everything else, unless it can affect the duties of that position.

Actually the local newspaper needs a fresh perspective of writing, however I don't remember details that well to write every little scoring play down.

Due to not having a Food Handlers' Card, I will not work concessions.

All I did concerning the coaches was mentioned that it was happening, I didn't quote the rules book. I did mention that with both coaches standing, that neither I or the shot clock operator was able to have clear view of the court. I realize that there's times that a team may be standing especially in the heat of the moment, or that a coach may be calling plays to the team, however both coaches were just standing there to be standing there.
